4. Use white eyeliner at the waterline-Ever wonder why anyone would ever need white eyeliner? We’re so used to putting eyeliner and eyeshadow on both top and bottom rims of our eyelids to define our eyes for that smokey look, but here’s one technique you should try. Skip the black or dark colored eyeliner at the waterline. This is the outer rim of your lower eyelid area. Instead, apply light, nude eyeshadow or white eyeliner at this part. This step may look minute and has no effect, but it creates an amazing illusion of bigger eyes.

5. Use white shimmer or light eyeshadow at the inner rim– Apply white or light shimmering eyeshadow on the area near the tear ducts, and skip the black eyeliner for the inner lower rim. This makes your eyes look more open.

6. Apply cat-eyeline or whale-shaped eyeliner tip –For that big doe eyes like Audrey Hepburn’s in the 50’s, use the cat-eye or whale-shape technique for black eyeliner on the upper lid. This is also a very effective makeup technique to make eyes look bigger for Asians with hooded eyes.

7. Go for nude or light eyeshadow colors- Remember, dark eyeshadows around the eyes create the smoky smoldering look. But for your eyes to look bigger and doe like, use light or nude eyeshadow when blending.

8. Curl your lashes-Is there an easy way on how to make your eyes look bigger without makeup? Ask many makeup pros and they will tell you to “never skip the eyelash curler”. It only takes couple seconds and curling your lashes is an easy way to makes your eyes look more open or wider.

9. Go for bold thick eyebrows! – Take a look at Audrey Hepburn’s photos. She has well defined thick eyebrows and they’re gorgeuos! Same with Cara Delevingne, bold eyebrows definitely make the eyes look bigger. So skip the thin bows and use your dark brown or black liner.

10. Use big eyes contact lenses for that doll-eyed effect-A popular trend among girls who are anime fans, these contact lenses have larger diameter than normal ones, and has thicker and darker outer rim. You can also choose from different iris colors like blue, green, brown, violet, pink or grey. Please consult your doctor or ophthalmologist before you try one for advice on how to use them and how to take care of your eyes. Keep these contact lenses disinfected when stored.
